Though Habs came short of meeting the service dog standards, he completed obedience training, Kanicki said. When Habs’ training was finished, corrections officer Jacob S. Wilkinson adopted him, having been familiar with him through the training process, Kanicki said.

Don Kleinsmith: It’s a dog’s life – and not bad

We are not experts in raising dogs, but I do believe our relationship with them has been beneficial in their long lives. Louise and I take Susie, our current 18½-year-old dog, for a long walk every day, without fail. I believe a key reason for Susie’s healthy, long life is something Louise does. Susie keeps her eyes on Louise as if she knows what she is saying. We believe it is the warm tone of voice and the words Susie does understand that keeps her listening.
